A delay anchor (delay anchor) for coupling terminal ends of two discontinuous tendons together resulting in a structurally continuous single tendon. The delay anchor generally comprises a coupling sleeve seating one set of tendon wedges for clamping one tendon end, and a stressing barrel seating a second set of tendon wedges for the other tendon end, the stressing barrel being attached to the coupling sleeve, and a compression spring biasing the two assemblies apart. The coupling sleeve is internally configured with a plurality of internal locking channels, and the stressing barrel has a plurality of radially protruding locking lugs slidable therein to provide a twist-lock insertion feature. An encapsulation insert is engaged to one side of an intermediate anchor and an encapsulation sleeve locks onto the encapsulation insert and covers and weather seals all internal components of the delay anchor.
